Cool man. If you actually STICK at least to what I wrote here and, to quote the classics, "believe in yourself", then good things will happen. Just don't do it for one week only to change it once again. Do this and GET BETTER at it.

What you see on that video is just lack of strength. I don't see anything else.

And if you have a hot mom, in which case I will train you for free.

Has anybody actually voted in the poll?

You've been told by who?

Yeah I mean, let's imagine you do a 50 meter run-up. Obviously you won't be accelerating 50 meters (unless, maybe, if you're an elite long jumper or something ), but all these contacts that add up have a tendency to tire you, and it will take "more" to be able to stabilize yourself after all those ground contacts and still jump well.

So I'm giving you a big exaggeration here, that would be unsafe if you were to maximally jump after such a run-up, but if you go overboard just a bit it might be a good idea.

Say you can only accelerate well and plant to the best of your ability in 5 steps. You could and should use 7 steps every now and then, only to make your body try to adapt, over time, to some additional stimulus.

I've said the same thing about a higher box for depth jumps than your optimal box in a post a few days ago. It's just that you don't want to go overboard with it.

If your best depth jump comes off a 20 inch box, maybe try a 22 inch box (put a small plate on the box or whatever stable, small thing you can find) every now and then to overload the system a bit more than what it's "optimally" accustomed to. I guess this would be similar to overspeed sprinting or something, or to an eccentric supramaximal squat or something like that.

I meant... lift your knee high when you... when you sprint and do plyos... that's... that's what I meant...
